Local operator · Piazzale degli Uffizi
One and a half hours at the Uffizi with a guide, in groups of up to 9 people, and if you choose the option, also access to the Vasari Corridor. The guide stops at the Corridor entrance: inside, you walk alone, one way, to the Boboli Gardens.
The experience has two separate parts. The first is a one-and-a-half-hour guided tour of the Uffizi, in groups of up to 9 people, with an authorised guide: meeting at the statue of Leonardo da Vinci on Piazzale degli Uffizi, a brief introduction on the Medici and the building, then the checks and the rooms. The itinerary focuses on the second floor: the three Madonnas by Duccio, Cimabue and Giotto, Botticelli's Birth of Venus and Primavera, Leonardo's Annunciation and Adoration of the Magi, Michelangelo's Doni Tondo and Raphael's Madonna of the Goldfinch. The Venetian rooms with Titian and those of Caravaggio, on the first floor, remain outside the guided tour and you see them on your own afterwards.
The second part, only with the Corridor option, is a unguided one-way walk. The listing excludes the guided tour inside the Corridor, and the museum itself speaks of an accompaniment service and not a guided tour. Entry to the Corridor is about 2 hours after the start of the tour (for an 8:30 tour, around 10:45; the exact time is on the ticket): in the meantime you tour the Uffizi on your own. The listing recommends keeping 3.5 - 4 hours free in total. The Corridor ends beyond the Arno and from there you cannot re-enter the Uffizi.
The price starts from $50 per person (GetYourGuide, October 2026) and changes with the option: check the one with the Corridor for your date. The official Uffizi ticket is named and costs €25 if you buy it on the day, €29 if you buy it in advance; they sell it on tickets.uffizi.it, at the call centre and at the ticket office under the loggia of Piazzale degli Uffizi. The official Uffizi + Corridor ticket costs €43 on the day and €47 in advance, is named, with mandatory booking, and is non-refundable; this tour can be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before. It does not include entry to the rest of Palazzo Pitti and the Boboli Garden.
You meet at the statue of Leonardo da Vinci on Piazzale degli Uffizi. The guide starts with a brief introduction about the Medici and the history of the building, then you go through security and up to the rooms.
The tour focuses on the second floor, where the most famous works are: Duccio, Cimabue and Giotto, Botticelli, Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael. At the end, the guide shows you the entrance to the Corridor inside the museum and says goodbye.
Until the Corridor time, you stay in the Uffizi alone: this is the time for the first floor, with Titian and Caravaggio. The museum's rules indicate the meeting point for the Corridor in room D19 on the first floor, to be reached at least 5 minutes before.
With the Corridor option, you walk above Ponte Vecchio along the passage built by Giorgio Vasari in 1565. The museum accompanies groups but does not provide a guided tour. Personal photos yes, videos no.
The route is one-way: you exit at the Grotta del Buontalenti, in the Boboli Gardens, and then from Palazzo Pitti. You do not return to the Uffizi, and entry to the rest of Pitti and Boboli is not included.
★★★★★Vera, our guide, was very prepared and kind. She welcomed us warmly and then kept our attention alive by describing the details and explaining the meaning of the works. Seeing Botticelli's Birth of Venus was a special moment, with an excellent explanation. There were only 6 of us in our group [...]. Having booked at the last minute we felt lucky to be able to do this tour, especially with the Vasari Corridor option.
★★★★★Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about painting. She explained everything very well and with enthusiasm. There is so much to see at the Uffizi and a one-and-a-half-hour tour only covers the main points. It was fine for me, but I would recommend a longer tour to an art lover.
★★★★★Excellent tour. We really liked the small group and were able to ask many questions. I would recommend it.
★★★★★Our guide Ilaria is the best guide I have ever had! Very knowledgeable! We learned many things we did not know about important artists. I give her 5 out of 5 with all my heart.
